Don't take yourself so seriously, thaicurious, that was a rhetorical question. I know very well why I got more realistic answers. I read the bloody instructions! Rainy November dear, if you really read the instruction and understood them you might get answers more like mine. Not saying that is necessarily a good thing, however.

thanx for the good advice though i believe that is the first time anyone accused me of taking myself seriously. not sure what you read into my nonrhetorical answer but i was simply thinking in terms of the test as to why it might come up with a zero. nothing more.

Why do you look for an outside God?

God is inside you, but most people will never search there and worship something outside themselves.

You do not need some kind of outside wisdom, force or whatever you call it to know how to be a good person.

Common sense is all that is needed.

Only real surprise was to see Quakers above Taoism, although I've always identified Quakers as the Christian denomination I can most relate to.

Yes my introduction to Buddhism was Chinese Chan/ Zen about 22 years ago but I thought I would have got Mahayana Buddhism out of my system by now :o

Incredible to me that the number one ranking is a faith, Unitarian Universalism, that I know nothing about.
